Yup. You can see that there is a different logo on the front and rear tires at the bottom of the tire. That is because they are directional and mounted in a different orientation.


Did you swap your rear tire yet so it is facing in the right direction?
Not yet... I should have some time this evening to correct that. Gonna need some new tire levers, too.

http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/vsnakes.asp

a little info on venomous snakes in MD. The snake I saw looked like a pittsburgh steeler (black and gold) snake, so obviously it was a Timber Rattlesnake.

only 2-6 people get bite a year, and rarely it is lethal, especially in full grown adults.

Huh? I never knew Md has rattlesnakes? You could have grabbed it by the tail and held it up while you got a picture.

Did you think I was joking when I said I saw a rattlesnake?

It scared the shit out of me.

Not only was it rattleing its tail and hissing, slowly coiling its body as I stare at it, but it was also by far the largest snake I have ever seen.

Damn thing was as fat as a baseball bat and 5 foot long. And its skin was Bright yellow and black.

I ran the other direction and rode the way I came all the way back to the parking lot
